Seattle artist Doug Keith prowls yard sales and swap meets for used or neglected guitars to give them new life as art! By using a variety of techniques and mediums, his unique “ARTAXES” reflect Doug’s interest in art and music. They feature themes such as; science fiction, sports, history, blues, and much more! Please note, the guitars have strings strictly for visual appeal and should not be considered “playable” but enjoyed as art!

Boasting a combined 36 years of musical experience, pianist Lesleigh Reinfried and violinist Lauren Wilder bring an inexhaustible charm and brilliance to their performance style. Individually, Wilder and Reinfried have performed at international venues and studied under world-class performers. As educators and performers, they showcase their versatility from the classroom to the concert hall, breathing life into repertoire from classical, to French tangos, to pop favorites, and everything in between!Artists present.

Bherd Studios Gallery312 N 85th Street, Suite 101 (above Chase Bank)
Bherd Gallery presents New End: Dangerous Times, a completely immersive, multi-media installation by Dylan Neuwirth & Jeff Gerber (aka Raven) under their new moniker #TRACKSTARS. The artists have created an environment that addresses our modern day angst’s and how we communicate. While social media has allowed us to communicate to a much broader audience, it has also clearly driven us away from focusing on things that are most present in our lives, like the people around us and the experiences that we have with them. After all the posting and re-posting, the “Likes” and the “Shares” what was the original intent of the message? And what does it say about us as people? #TRACKSTARS have traveled extensively internationally and have brought their cultural experiences with temples and meditation into the gallery. Look for the white neon hashtag beaconing you to the New End. Artists present.
